Evan Mobley came out of this one with a couple of pretty significant scratches on his face.
Keep an eye on him, Mobley’s been choosing a lot of Renegade options

Mobley: “I’ve had enough of your snide insinuations!”
punches journalist
Dangerous to be a reporter next to someone doing a renegade run
I’ve got nothing more to say to you
“How ‘bout… “goodbye.””
👊 “Say goodnight, Manuel” 👊
Can people please cut their nails?
Never forget when Gary Trent Jr’s crusty ass nails took out DG’s eyeball with an infection.
Its unfortunately a culture thing as well as a tactic in basketball
? Go on…
Honestly, what’s with all the crazy scratches these days? It wasn’t this bad back in the day.The CBA needs to include a nail length clause or some shit.
Cade has crazy scars. Pritchard always looks like he’s been attacked by a rabid cassowary. Etc. Every team has hacked-up players.
I think this has always been a thing.
On their fourth try, Jordan and the Bulls swept the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals and won the first of their six titles in the spring of ‘91. That didn’t stop other players from trying to physically intimidate Jordan, even if their tactics were far more subtle than the Pistons’. “Guys would file their fingernails a certain way so they’d come to points, like claws, and just rake him,” Perdue says. “He’d look like he had jumped over a barbed wire fence and didn’t make it. There were marks all over his back, legs, arms. It was almost a badge of honor for him. ‘Look at what this guy tried to do to me,’ he said once.”

I feel as if TV is just hd now so we can see guys skin and scars better. Can’t see shit before HD television
Definitely always a thing. Just a crazy rampant thing these days.
How much of a bitch do you have to be to file your nails down to a point to scratch someone dominating you?
imagine going through your whole life knowing that you were the guy who turned his fingernails into knives to try and slice michael jordan enough that he wouldnt fucking vaporize you in a basketball game
Now imagine knowing it didn’t make a lick of difference.
But you gotta try something
Jordan play against ninjas not plumbers it appears
Wemby and Joker’s arms are always scratched up too. Bigs are officiated differently than everyone else
It’s so strange to me that you can body slam people in the paint, but you can’t land any where near a shooter on a close out.
Its the only way players like Caruso and Keldon Johnson can even try to front players like Joker. Not saying its fair, just that its what the NBA allows. No way could you treat SGA or other elite guards the same way
What bothers me is that none of this stuff is official or in writing. It is all just “if you know you know” unwritten rules.
I am fine with bigs and guards being treated differently. That makes sense. But the rules are written the same for everyone. Treating them differently in practice is objectively not following the rules. Which is a referee’s job
Indeed. It’s worse for bigs for sure - Joker and Wemby are perfect examples. That’s also why I mentioned Pritchard. The biggest little bastard in the NBA.
I’m the center for my rec league team, and the other day I got hit on the face after a rebound to the point where my glasses (that are strapped on) still visibly had the earpiece hanging off the side of my face, and I didn’t get a foul called.
Basically what I’m saying is that Wemby and Jokic are just like me fr
well if Wemby and Jokic are just like you, you should take one of the millions of dollars you have lying around, hire a lawyer and sue that guy to make him apologize.
I read rip Hamilton’s nails were sharp as hell
They don’t trim their nails
I think it’s because shit was low res everything back in the day and there was no Internet or even if there was, what was there to even watch? Even if it was there to watch, what were you going to watch with dialup? Lol
What do you mean by back in the day?
80s, 90s, aughts.
the fingernails on some of these guys are disgusting
He sounds like Charles Barkley “a hack is a foul”

You good?
You can always clip her finger nails when she’s sleeping…
Or ask her boyfriend to do it!
Folks looking like Kratos
When are the players gonna start clipping their nails god
Honestly should be a flagrant if you scratch someone with ur nails and make them bleed, fucking disgusting that they even let it get that long.
In some developing countries, teachers inspect the nails of their students and smack them with a stick if they’re too long. That was my dad’s experience in school, and he’s always making sure my nails aren’t gross lol
Kitten mittens but for NBA players.
Chalky White
NHL has a rule where if you hit someone in the face with your stick and draw blood the penalty is doubled. Could be something to work with here. 4 FTs and the ball. Auto ejection
